How the World Cup works (plus fixtures)
last year, mid-MarchFor the uninitiated, this is what’s happening in Cricket Land over the next few weeks. It’s massive.
Teams, how it works, and all that
- Two points for a win; one for a tie or no-result.
- Sixteen teams divided into four groups, the top two of move through to the Super Eights.
- The top four from the Super Eights will qualify for the semi-finals - and the top team will play the fourth-placed side. It’s actually quite simple, but no doubt it’ll all be thrown into chaos and disorder at some point. Hopefully.
